OUTLOOK

PHASAO has laid solid foundations. The challenge now is to consolidate these gains and prepare the next stage.

Priorities

Four priorities for the next step

Turn project gains into permanent capacity that is funded and built into institutional practice.

01

Sustain the achievements

Ensure continuity of capacities, tools, infrastructure and data products after project closure.

02

Modernise production

Continue the digital transformation: mobile collection, Big Data, artificial intelligence, dissemination platforms and open data.

03

Mobilise PHASAO 2

Prepare new financing to extend, consolidate and scale up the programme’s results.

04

Support the NSDS and NDP

Support the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics and the monitoring needs of the National Development Plan.

Challenges

Conditions for sustainability

Sustainability depends on clear governance, effective maintenance, available skills and continuous demand for quality data.

Maintain equipment

Plan the budgets, contracts and skills needed to maintain digital and regional infrastructure.

Institutionalise standards

Embed standards, protocols, frameworks and quality practices in the day-to-day operation of the National Statistical System.

Respond to data demand

Adapt statistical production to the growing needs of public policies, territories, the private sector and citizens.

Roadmap

A consolidation pathway

Three moves for what comes next: consolidate, extend and institutionalise innovations.

  1. 01
    Short term

    Consolidate achievements

    Complete ongoing operations, secure equipment, document procedures and stabilise dissemination platforms.

  2. 02
    Medium term

    Expand use

    Deploy good practices in regional directorates, strengthen professional skills and connect more administrative sources.

  3. 03
    Long term

    Institutionalise modernisation

    Embed innovations in the NSDS, the NDP and national budgets to reduce dependence on one-off financing.

Advocacy · A programme to extend
“The architecture is in place. The next mandate is to make it evolve.”

Additional financing and a consolidation phase would strengthen the National Statistical System for the long term and meet the growing demand for reliable data.
